Ezekiel 30 Part 32 1 graceWORKS ! GOING DEEPER The Papou Study Bible is a daily study provided by me to help folks explore the depth and joy of the “conneXion” life of God. It’s my personal study, and is not intended as a doctrinal statement or statement of any church or denomination or congregation. It’s also my belief that “grace” works, and the servant of God should always want to go deeper. Multi- tasking as usual, I’m also calling this the “Papou Study Bible.” I’m writing it as if I were speaking to my girls Paige, Stephanie, and Ashley, and any descendant they have (particularly Nicole, Joey, Matthew, Dylan, Julianne, and Lizzie, who know me as “Papou”). And to anyone who wants to consider me a spiritual Dad or “Papou.” I want them to be able to study the Bible with Papou (grandpa in Greek) after I’m gone---and if they don’t, I’ll haunt them. The Scriptures say it’s noble to “search the Scriptures daily” to verify truth like the ancient Bereans did (Acts 17:11). My folks came from Berea. My incredible Dad (and your grandfather and great grandfather, guys), Vasil Charles Valekis taught me to do this like he did---every day until I die. He taught me and everyone I know to go to church no matter what and to put God first. While Mama (Maria Pagona Stratakis Valekis) never really did this, she made sure we listened to Daddy on this one. She would have hit us with a spatula or frying pan or worse if we didn’t. This is a simple sharing my “daily search.” And I’d like to think it is a continuation of God’s life through my Dad through me. Both my “Dads” by the way. And a way to honor him, mama and our loving “Dad”---God. And for all of us to be together, in Spirit, even when we I join them in heaven. I like to use the Blue Letter literal, very “visual,” Greek translation a lot to help “visualize” these truths the beautiful way Greek enables you to view. And I like to share this with folks serving in an elder capacity, or any capacity, to grow them, challenge them, and stretch them. But especially share it with my girls. And when you study these, I’ll make sure to connect with you from heaven. Ever an orthodox Greek, Jim Valekis ChristIN YouSeries Colossians 1:27 (King James Version) 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory graceWORKS! GOING DEEPER 2 Ezekiel 30 Part 3 I researched the “Day of the Lord” a bit. Now I’d like to get into this chapter and understand Egypt’s “Day of the Lord. Some say it was only partially fulfilled by Nebuchadnezzar, and that its total fulfillment will take place at the final Day of the Lord, since some aspects of the fulfillment of this prophecy have not been found in history. That doesn’t mean they are not there! It’s just we don’t have them recorded. This one is kind of murky to me. But I know God’s word is true, and facts either unearthed in this age of the next will demonstrate that!

Ezekiel 30 New International Version (NIV) A Lament Over Egypt 30 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “‘Wail and say, “Alas for that day!” 3 For the day is near, the day of the Figure 1 Photos taken from taken from: https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/ancient-egypt LORD is near— a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations. 4 A sword will come against Egypt, and anguish will come upon Cush. Cush is the upper Nile region. The sword that will come upon the region is Nebuchadnezzar’s sword. When the slain fall in Egypt, her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down. Egypt had been a power for such a long time. Here’s some insight about them from Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt has one of the longest histories of any country, tracing its heritage along the Nile Delta back to the 6th–4th millennia BCE. Considered a cradle of civilisation, Ancient Egypt saw some of the earliest developments of writing, agriculture, urbanisation, organised religion and central government.[14] Iconic monuments such as the Giza Necropolis and its Great Sphinx, as well the ruins of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings, reflect this legacy and remain a significant focus of scientific and popular interest. Egypt's long and rich cultural heritage is an integral part of its national identity, which has endured, and often assimilated, various foreign influences, including Greek, Persian, Roman, Arab, Ottoman Turkish, and Nubian. Egypt was an early and important centre of Christianity, but was largely Islamised in the seventh century and remains a predominantly Muslim country, albeit with a significant Christian minority. To go back as far as the 6th-4th millennia BCE are some pretty serious “foundations.” She was going to have her foundations torn down. What she was, she was never to be again. Another insight on them is included as an addendum to this study. It’s taken from: https://www.history.com/topics/ancient- history/ancient-egypt 5 Cush and Libya, Lydia and all Arabia, Kub and the people of the covenant land will fall by the sword along with Egypt. As with any huge nation, surrounding people who inhabit her, including Jews (“covenant people”) would suffer. 6 “‘This is what the LORD says:“‘The allies of Egypt will fall and her proud strength will fail. From Migdol to Aswan they will fall by the sword within her, declares the Sovereign LORD. Migdol was in northern Egypt. Aswan was a small town in the south. When God spoke of Israel in the same way, He would use the phrase from “Dan to Beersheba.” In our country it would be like speaking about “From Bangor, Maine to Los Angeles, California.” 7 “‘They will be desolate among desolate lands, and their cities will lie among ruined cities. 8 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I set fire to Egypt and all her helpers are crushed. Fire is a common biblical term for God’s devastating judgments. Isaiah 10:16-19 16 Therefore, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors; Hebrews 12:29 (NIV) under his pomp a fire will be kindled 29 for our “God is a consuming like a blazing flame. fire.” 17 The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briers. 18 The splendor of his forests and fertile fields it will completely destroy, as when a sick person wastes away. 19 And the remaining trees of his forests will be so few that a child could write them down. Our God is a consuming fire. God was going to use fire to purify Egypt. Fire from God is not always meant to destroy, by the way. It is also meant to purify (1 Cor 3:10-15) 9 “‘On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency. These ships would presumably travel on the Nile. Complacency – a more literal translation I like to use says: (CLV) Ezk 30:9 In •that day messengers shall go forth from before Me in boats to cmake »unsuspecting Cush tremble, and sore travail will bcome iamong them in Egypt's day, for behold, it is coming. Sometimes you can become so locked into your wrong ways that you become unsuspecting. Anguish will take hold of them on the day of Egypt’s doom, for it is sure to come. 10 “‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “‘I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. 11 He and his army—the most ruthless of nations— will be brought in to destroy the land. They will draw their swords against Egypt and fill the land with the slain. Here is one take on Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Egypt. It is taken from https://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?t=38766. in 568 BC Nebuchadnezzar did in fact actually invade Egypt proper. A fragmentary historical document indicates that Nebuchadnezzar actually campaigned in Egypt, subjugating parts of the country during the rule of Amasis, about 568 BC. Naturally, during this campaign, Nebuchadnezzar took massive booty, as predicted by Ezekiel. Ezekiel never prophesied that Nebuchadnezzar would conquer all of Egypt. It says that he will campaign there, taking land and plunder as his reward. 12 I will dry up the waters of the Nile and sell the land to an evil nation; by the hand of foreigners I will lay waste the land and everything in it.

  • Ezekiel Chapter 30
    Ezekiel Chapter 30 Ezekiel 30:1 "The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying," Every time we see this statement, it means there has been a break from the previous prophecy, and a new prophecy begins. In this oracle (that runs from verses 1-19), is the one of the seven that is undated and is a general prediction that Egypt and all of her allies would be destroyed. Ezekiel 30:2 "Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!" Woe is speaking to the wicked. Woe is expressing grief. God tells Ezekiel to tell the people that judgment is coming upon them. One of the best examples of a woe (is in Revelation): Revelation 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!" "Woe" is speaking a judgment of God upon man. Ezekiel 30:3 "For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen." The "day of the LORD" is speaking of a day of divine judgment from God. The day of chastisement from God is always a cloudy day. It seems the sun will never shine again. God has judged His precious Israel, now it is the time to judge the heathen. The day of the LORD is a day when the power of Almighty God over the affairs of man is evident.

  • Bible Survey
    CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT THE RELIGION BIBLE SURVEY The Un-devotional EZEKIEL Week 3 The Price Day 15 of Promiscuity Ezekiel 23 OPENING It is possible to tell when someone is being up to the Word sexually promiscuous, but how can you know when someone is being spiritually promiscuous? DIGGING 1. We’re used to thinking of prostitution as a grave into the Word sin against God, but how does this chapter describe God’s attitude towards spiritual prostitution? 2. We tend to think of lust as a sexual issue. But how did God describe Samaria and Jerusalem’s spiritual lusting (vs. 5-7, 12-15)? What seemed to be attractive to them about the Assyrian and Babylonian culture? 3. In this chapter, sexual language is used to describe the unfaithful political and religious affiliations Israel and Judah had entered. Why do you think God chose to describe Israel’s unfaithfulness in this way? LIVING 1. Do you think you have ever been guilty of out the Word spiritual promiscuousness, or unfaithfulness to God? 2. What are three powerful attractions that tempt you and I to be spiritually unfaithful to God? WINDOW Oholah (v. 4) means “her tent,” and Oholibah means “my on the Word tent is in her,” possibly referring to God’s sanctuary in Jerusalem. Oholah represented Samaria, the capital city of Israel, while Oholibah represented Judah. Israel had first been unfaithful to God by seeking security through alliances with Assyria, instead of relying on God to protect her. Judah failed to learn from her older sister’s example, making alliances first with Assyria, and later with Babylon.

  • Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead
    Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead The Book of Ezekiel INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL August 23, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Old Testament book of the Jewish Prophet Ezekiel is one of the so-called Major Prophets in the Christian Bible because of its length. The other four are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations and Daniel. The twelve so-called Minor Prophets follow these. They are designated minor due to their length. Therefore all the prophetic books are collected together in the Christian Bible. The Hebrew Bible, which is called the Tenach, arranges the books in a different order and assigns the Book of Ezekiel to third position in the category called the Latter Prophets (Hebrew, Neve’em). The other Later Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah and the Twelve Prophets. The Jewish Talmud arranges the sequence of the books of the Latter Prophets to follow a chronological order. Beginning with Jeremiah, which is primarily concerned with the prophecies of Israel’s destruction following the narrative of the books of Kings. Ezekiel, which begins with destruction, ends with the consolation of the Messianic Kingdom. Isaiah follows that and is almost all concerned with prophecies of consolation.

  • The Prophet Ezekiel
    The Prophet Ezekiel John Singer Sergeant’s rendition of Ezekiel (12:6) Ezekiel was carried away captive to Babylon at the age of twenty–five— one of 10,000 captives. In the fifth year of his captivity God called the young priest to prophesy to “a rebellious nation, impudent and stubborn.” For more than twenty–five years Ezekiel faithfully carried Jehovah’s message of recompense upon a rebellious house and the restoration of a holy remnant, to a captive nation in a distant and foreign land. In this study the book will be analyzed in twenty–six lessons placing emphasis on understanding the prophet’s presentation of Messiah as the Second David. Jeff Asher © 2003 The Prophet Ezekiel Lesson Fourteen: The Conquest Begins Lesson Aim: See Ezekiel vindicated as a prophet before Israel. Lesson Text: Ezekiel 24:1–25:17 Memory Verse: Ezekiel 24:24 Background Texts: 2 Kings 25:1–30; 2 Chronicles 36:11–21; Jeremiah 16:1–9; 39:1–7; 52:1–30; Ezekiel 3:22–27; 4:1–8; Psalm 137:1–9 Questions for Discussion 1. What was the significance of the date upon which this oracle was given? (2 Kings 25:1) Why should this have impressed those that received it? (Ezekiel 24:24) 2. Explain the parable of the “seething pot”. (Ezekiel 24:3–14) [NOTE: Consider verses 4–5 as Jerusalem’s view of themselves and verses 6–14 as God’s view.] 3.
